KIN 2500 – Chapter 12 – 40+ Questions on Cardiovascular System & Blood – Louisiana State University (2025/2026)

This document contains over 40 multiple-choice and true/false questions with verified answers from Chapter 12 of the KIN 2500: Human Anatomy course at Louisiana State University, academic year 2025/2026. It specifically focuses on the cardiovascular system and blood-related content, aligning with core concepts in anatomy and physiology. Topics include the structure and function of blood components (plasma, red and white blood cells, platelets), hemopoiesis, characteristics of blood (pH, temperature, volume), blood disorders (anemia, leukemia, sickle cell disease), immune function (leukocytes, antigens, antibodies), Rh incompatibility, and conditions like polycythemia and hemolytic disease of the newborn. The guide also covers key physiological processes such as oxygen transport, erythropoiesis, blood clotting, and the function of specific cell types (e.g., neutrophils, macrophages, eosinophils). Each question includes the correct answer, making the guide highly useful for exam review, class prep, or self-assessment. It is especially valuable for students in pre-med, kinesiology, nursing, biology, and other health science or anatomy-focused programs. It also supports general education students enrolled in foundational anatomy or physiology courses.
